What the title says. I cant play videos, even the ones recorded with the camera app! it simply gives me a pop up stating the format is not compatible...
Use MX Player to play videos or you can try clearing data or cache of Album application

When I click Youtube links from the web, they play in HTC Flash Player. Seems to be a different app than the Youtube app. It's lower quality than even normal quality in the Youtube app and I frequently get sync issues.
Is there a way to make a Youtube link open in the Youtube app instead?

You should have an option to choose the htc flash player and the youtube app
try clearing the defaults on the HTC flash player.
Seems like some video/music formats can't be played on this pad.
Anyone know a good program to download that will let you play all formats?
and is everyones facebook widget force closing on them? like mine it keeps force closing.
Transformer only opens mkv, mp4, mp3, ogg as far as I know (I don't have the device). To open other formats you need to download apps - look into the apps thread or to Xoom forum for some direction (or search on market for file types you like to open).
for music use power amp. It works.
Rock player works for video, so thats every format covered?
Popular (for music) are also APE and MPC but searching the market reveals many, many apps that play them (and personally I convert all the ape files I get to flac anyway).
And yes, the facebook widget and the application itself "force closes" almost immediately.
I looked for the friend stream widget that I have on my Desire HD rom, but I guess that is part of HTC apps.

vital player ( free ) is also working well for me.
however annoyingly when using MyNet ( dlna ) you cant choose a program to open the video files with so the file just errors with can play this video type
Currently trying to play a 1280x720 -x264- MKV file. Standard player is full of green blocks when trying to run it. Using Rock Player the picture is very clear but it's very jerky like the frame rate is about 5.
Am I doing something wrong? Surely it should play perfect?

currently you can't by reading most forums. best to convert until something comes up.
to my amazement there doesn't seem to be anythign on stock that allows me to play video - other than - i'm guessing the gallery for video i've recorded myself.
seriously?
Nexus is pure google experience, so it assume you to use youtube
there are tons of free apps, the best one is MoboPlayer
The gallery app does scan for videos stored in your SD, I guess you are just meant to play videos using the gallery app. Sounds counter intuitive I know. But keep in mind it supports very limited number of formats, which I know of only mp4 and 3gp. To play other formats, install a video player from the market as suggested.

Just today 17th February 2017 Nougat OS had been working fine since installed on 11th Feb but today I could not play video files from within other apps ie whatsapp where it had been work fine. Videos open up but will not play and when I went into the Honor Video app properties via settings I noticed in Open By Default there is No Default set now and there used to be.
But if I open the video app directly and play a video they play or open video from a folder the also play..
Did try with another video app VLC same problem...
Anyone had this problem..
UPDATE.... Fixed now!
Uninstalled WA, VLC and reinstall WA and restore the backup of WA, videos play now with Honor Video player. So went ahead and install VLC again and videos play now and the option to select video player is back..
Oh well all good for now

Not seeing such problem on my H8 (L09 with B360), it could be bug of other app, most probably the video player.
When you tap on a video in Whatsapp to play it, does it prompt you to choose a video player to use? If you don't see this prompt then you probably had already set a default player. Go to Settings > Apps, check on all the video player you've installed to see if it's set as default player, if yes then you can click on the Clear Default button to clear it.
After that you can tap on a video again in Whatsapp to set a new default video player, or like me, just use the "Just Once" option and don't set any default player.

Yes did all over the above and even installed VLC player and I always had option "Just Once" up to the point when videos stopped playing cleared cache before Uninstalled of VLC, cleared cache of Honor Video player. I had even reinstalled an earlier version of Whatsapp without installing the backup of whatsapp same problem...
Thank any how ?

Uninstalled WA, VLC and reinstall WA and restore the backup of WA videos play now. So went ahead and install VLC again and videos play now and option to select video player is back..

Hi
I've installed a video player on the phone. I'd like to be able to play videos from the gallery directly with that player and set as default. It does not ask me how I want to play videos, just plays through gallery, how can I change it? No default settings neither in gallery, nor in the player app. Throuhg settings-apps the default option is obviously inactive, can't set even there.

Use a different gallery, this should solve your problem.
When selecting a video it will ask you which player to use, just once or always.

Yeah, that did the job, thanks.
I'm a bit sorry though, I'd preffer the one that the rom comes with, hopefully they'll add this option.
